Live MastodOns I'm Alaska.

For several years scientists have been
greatly interested in stories that have
come from Alaska tending to shake their
faith in the belief that the mastodon is
an extinct animal. The latest contriBu-
tion on this subject--the importance of
which, from a geological point of view
cannot be oyerestimated-is furnished by
the Free Press, published at Juneau,
Alaska. The editor of that paper says:
In conversation with ID. II. Summers,
formerly of Denver, Col, who came out
this fall with a party of miners from Forty
Mile Creek, We learned that the existence
of living mastodons were not the mere
fabrications of northern furriers, but
that the Stick Indians had positively
told him that such animals had been seen
by them. One of the Indians said that
while hunting one day in that unknown
section he came across an immense track
sunk to depth of several inches in
moss. 1t much resembled an ele-
plants track, but was larger round
than barrel. The Indian followed up
this curious track, which, to all appear
ance, was very fresh, tracking from one
immense stride to another, distance of
some miles, when he came in full view
of his game. The hunter gave one look,
then turned and fed. These Indians,
as rule, are the bravest hunters. With
no other weapon than their spear they
will attack and kill a grizzly, but the
immense proportions of this new style of
game both startled and filed the hunter,
brave as he was, with great fear.
He described it as being larger than
Post Trader Harper's store, with great
shining yellowish tusks and mouth large
enough to swallow him at single gulp.
He said the animal was doubtless similar
to those which furnished the immense
bones scattered over that section. If
such animals are now in existence, and
Mr.. Summers has no reason to doubt the
veracity Of the Indian, as other Indians,
and also Mr.. Harper, confirmed it, they
inhabit section very high in altitude,
but very rarely visited by human beings.
We also have no reason to doubt the
Indian tale, for at no very distant period
Yukon country was inhabited by these
animals, as hundreds Of their massive
skeletons, strewn along the creeks, are
silent but truthful witnesses. On Forty
Mile Creek bones can be found project
ing partly from the sand, and among the
driftwood of the stream on the creek be.
low this these skeletons are also quite
numerous.

the wonderful discoveries Of the world in

Our ancestors were reared in log cabins, and
suffered hardships and trials.
But they lived and enjoyed health to ripe

endure hardship without apparent fatigue
that would startle those of the present age.
Why was it! s
One Of the proprietors OF the popular rem,
edy known as Warmers safe cure, has been
faithfully investigating the cause, and has
called TO his aid scientists as well as medical
men, impressing upon them the fact that
there cannot be an effect without a cause.
This investigation disclosed the fact that in
the olden times simple remedies were admin.
istered, compounded of herbs and roots, which
were gathered and stored in the lofts of the
log cabins, and when sickness came on, these
remedies from natures laboratory were used
with the best effects,
What were these remediesl What were
they used fori After untiring and diligent
search they have obtained the formulas so
generally used for various disorders.
Now the question is, how will the olden

age, who have been treated, under modern
medical schools and codes, with poisonous
aud injurious drugs. This test has been care.

An old citizen, a gentleman Of high

Grating Fruits,


Next to the planting of new trees dur.
ing the coming spring, preparation
should be made for grating the natural
apple trees and other bearers of worthless
fruit to he found on almost every farm.
Some varieties of fruit, however, should
lie budded, rather than grated, and l
give the following schedule of modes of
propagation adapted to different trees
and frnit.bearing shrubs
Apple and pear, budding and graft

Cherry, mostly by budding, but sue.

early.
Peach and nectarine, by budding only,

at the South.
Plum, by grating, and also by bud
ding il the stocks are thrifty.
Apricot, mostly by budding some
times by grating.
Almond, by budding and sometimes
by grating.
Chestnut, by early grating.
Walnut, by early grating and by an
nual budding,
Ounce, by cutting and grating.
Filbert, by suckers and layers. The
finer sorts may be grated on the more
common. which reduces the size of tho
bush and makes them more prolific.
Grape, by layers and cuttings, and, in
rare instances, grating is advantageous
Iy employed for new or rare sorts on old
or wild stocks, producing rapid growth
and early bearing.
Raspberry and blackberry, by suckers,
cuttings OF roots and layers.
Gooseberry aud currant, by cuttings
and sometimes by layers.
To insure good grating one must
have sharp tools and good wax. The
grating wax purchased is not alway a
good article, and it is preferable to make
1t, 10y heating and mixing equal parts of
Tosin, tallow and yellow beeswax. A
coat Of this wax, about One-twentieth Of
an inch thick, spread over muslin, calico
or tough and flexible paper, makes an
excellent plaster for outdoor grating:

well adapted to root grating. In either

may be easily wrapped around the graft

essential that tho ingredients of the wax

TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
Grape Growing.

An Hungarian, who is starting a vine,
yard at Chester, Conn, says that the
Americans make the ground too rich for
this fruit, and in the selection of his
vineyard has taken land with soil origi-
nally too poor to grow white beans. "
This enterprise will be watched with
some interest and the conclusion may be
found to be correct. We remember Wis.

Not So Bad.

A story is going around in the French
papers about the car of Russia. While
he was stopping recently in the Castle of
Fredeusborg he was fond Of taking little
walks in the neig .borhood. One day he
was accosted by 4 bcggar woman with a
child in her arms. In pure Danish and
in the roughest manner possible he told
her to go away aud be pretty quick about
it. The poor woman, terrified started
of, but was followed by an officer.
'Here,m good woman, "said the officer,
as he put some pieces Of gold into her
hand, sit is the car who sends you this,
and he hopes that you will forgive his
apparent rudeness OF moment ago. The
fact is, he has just returned from visit
to his children, who have the scarlatina,
and he was afraid that he might bring
the contagion TO your child IL he allowed
you to approach his person."
